Michter’s US*1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a highly regarded and sought-after whiskey that embodies the rich tradition and craftsmanship of American whiskey-making. Michter’s Distillery, with a heritage dating back to the 18th century, is known for its meticulous attention to detail and its dedication to producing exceptional whiskeys.

The US*1 Small Batch Bourbon is crafted using a carefully selected mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. The exact proportions are a closely guarded secret, but the emphasis is on using the highest quality grains available. The whiskey is then matured in new, charred American white oak barrels, which impart flavours of vanilla, caramel, and spice.

Michter’s is known for its “small batch” approach, with each batch typically consisting of no more than twenty barrels. This allows for greater control over the quality and consistency of the whiskey, ensuring that each bottle meets the distillery’s high standards.

The US*1 Small Batch Bourbon is bottled at 91.4 proof (45.7% alc/vol), a strength that balances the whiskey’s flavours and allows them to shine through.
